IMHO it's a time thing and it's a racing thing.
FWIW I don't see having to pay $150 for an event as an overriding factor. More important is having the time at the event to enjoy yourself, and that is a challenge with 2 students. Maybe the instructors should have more time in their own run groups so that they can have an extra 10 minutes to breath, adjust the car etc.
If you went Red-Green-Blue-Black-White (repeat) then if you had 2 students you could handle them back 2 back with a nice long span of time between. In and out of a car every 15 minutes is a lousy way to spend a DE.
Finally, we are certainly losing some Instructors to Club Racing, but there is no way to counter that progression.
